I live in Los Angeles, but I was born in the Midwest, so you can trust me. I work for pHome.us and the thing I like to do most is "joke around."
I had travelled eight thousand miles around the American continent and I was back on Times Square; and right in the middle of rush hour, too, seeing with my innocent road-eyes the absolute madness and fantastic hoorair of New York with its millions and millions hustling forever for a buck among themselves, the mad dream— grabbing, taking, giving, sighing, dying, just so they could be buried in those awful cemetery cities beyond Long Island City. Jack Kerouac, On The Road
I like when the user can customize things that only they will see.

edit: My mistake, apparently everyone can see that.  I don’t know why the cops can’t understand a JOKE.

Brian put portions of my face onto Louie Anderson’s head.  It’s funny, but it’s also scaring me to into working out.

The new link manager is wonderful.  I love the newfound simplicity of it and the intuitiveness we’ve revealed.

Jacob and I designed it overnight using iChat’s screen sharing feature.  Amazing that Apple can package something so powerful into a program as casual as an instant messaging.  Less than 5 minutes into the process, its novelty wore off and it was purely business.

Designing UI is always really fun to me.  I love coming across a conflict of interest and putting myself in the user’s place.  In situations where we were split over the design of something like a button’s position, we had to ask ourselves, “which situation is more likely to happen?”

I’m really proud of pHome.us’ transformation.  Jacob took our mockup to the real thing in just under a week.  The most important trait of creating interactive design is keeping everything intentional.  I’m proud of what we have because I know that each detail has been debated to what is best for the user.

This is Denmark’s outlet from Wired’s Gallery Of The World’s Power Sockets.  It’s so much more delighted to be stabbed in the face than mine.  The US socket almost deserves pity, but that’s its fucking job so I’m already over it.

ATTN: You must be this  cool to enter.

Yes, do that!  My fault though, I should have never clicked the marquee tool while I had the File menu open.

I’m sure you’ve seen me talk about this project before, and today we’re finally ready to launch.

http://www.pHome.us

I’ve been using it as my homepage for the past 6 months and there’s no way I’m going back.  I get my bookmarks at work, home and on my phone whenever I want.

I’m excited to get some feedback, so signup and let me know how it works for you.
